This guy had a bad first home. He knows he's not alpha though - my little rescue girl taught him that pretty quickly, LOLOL! Also, genetically he's not working with good material. But he is 10 years old and still quite lively and overall pretty healthy. Hopefully the CS in the drinking water helps too ;-)

A new book called The Dog Listener addresses such behavior and explains it according to the author's observations of the behavior of wolves (from which dogs are descended). Briefly, there are many cues that a human can inadvertently give a dog that makes it think it's alpha, when it shouldn't be and it's not equipped for that role. One of the effects of this error in perception in dogs can be excessive scratching. The book gives great information (though it could have used another edit). Thought you might like to know.
